If I could give zero stars

If I could give zero stars, trust me, I would this car company is probably one of the worst companies in America comes to service. They have no etiquette when it comes to business and taking care of customers they lie and try to blame customers for their deficiency, I rented the car to show up at the place just for the card not to be available in the associate. Try to blame me because I was late even though I was at the location before closed I called customer service to come to find out that she had lied to 24 hours to pick up your car not supposed to find a car and I’ll just tell you sorry you’re on a clock. That’s what this associate did then proceeded to call customer service And get an explanation why I did not have a car come to find out they did not have cars at that location for the entire day and the associate lied to me at the station they escalated my case to supposedly a regional manager to help me out and I never received a single call from any manager or any person Place companies like this eventually go out of business because they forget the customers are really what they fix their competency in terms of dealing with the public. I’ve only had one other customer service interaction that was worse than this, and that was with American Airlines where they lie to their customers to cover their ass like national car rental buyer beware looking through your history. It looks like they do not give a shit about their customers.

I placed an online booking through our…

I placed an online booking through our corporate account on Thursday, 10th July. To my disappointment, I didn’t receive any communication until Saturday morning—only to be told that the vehicle I booked wasn’t available. This last-minute notice was frustrating enough, but what followed was completely unacceptable. The staff member who contacted me, claiming to be the manager, was extremely rude and unprofessional throughout the call. She spoke over me repeatedly, wouldn’t allow me to explain my situation, and her tone was downright abusive. As a regular customer who has rented from various Enterprise branches for years, I was shocked by this behaviour. If this is the standard of customer service from someone in a managerial position, it raises serious questions about the training and leadership at this branch. A manager should be setting the tone for professionalism—not contributing to a toxic experience. Needless to say, I will be avoiding this branch in future. I highly recommend others do the same until clear improvements are made in customer service and communication.

Arnaque véhicule loué à Édimbourg pour…

Arnaque ,véhicule loué à Édimbourg pour 5 jours. Aucun souci pendant le séjour ni restitution (clés déposée dans une boîte aux lettres). Et , 15 jours après notre retour, on nous réclame 500£ pour une 1/2 coque de clé manquante. Clé qui nous a été remise en main propre dans cet état, 1/2 coque manquante et scotchée, mais que nous n’avions pas malheureusement pas signalé. Cela ne gênait pas le fonctionnement du véhicule et le loueur ne pouvait pas l’ignorer car la clé avait était “temporairement” réparée par ses soins avant nous l’être confiée. Désormais, ils nous signalent que le véhicule a été immobilisé pendant 5 jours à cause de cette 1/2 coque manquante et appliquent des frais de dossier et de réparation exorbitants. C’est notre bonne foi contre celle du loueur. Nous sommes loin, difficile de s’expliquer et la restitution s’est faite dans une boîte aux lettres. Nous sommes piégés par un système qui défend le loueur mais pas le locataire, avec des mises en demeure inadmissible pour une 1/2 coque de clé en plastique comme si nous étions des délinquants. Aucune possibilité de discuter sauf peut être maintenant en portant plainte pour abus avec notre assistance juridique. Donc il est indispensable de noter tout défaut même minime lors de la réception d’un véhicule. Les assurances des CB ne prennent pas en charge les dommages aux clés. Donc aucun recours possible. Encore un exemple des arnaques rencontrées avec des agences de location de véhicules.

Beware National Roadside Assistance. Pay for the roadside when you rent

The branch employees themselves, outstanding. National's Roadside assistance is awful. The big slogan is your safety is our priority yet they made me put a donut on the rental jacking up my back and having me drive through East Saint Louis on Hwy 70 going 40 mph with the hazard lights on. No one in E St Louis cares if you have an issue. Better get out of the way. Probably the most harrowing experience of my life. One of the 5 people I spoke to in Roadside even hung up on me because I told him I was not pulling over on that hwy and calling the police.

A EVITER

A EVITER - Location de voiture à l'aéroport de Varsovie Accueil peu aimable, la voiture n'était pas prête et pas équipé de GPS tel que réservé. Le GPS nous a été facturé. Le prix de base de la location tel que souscrit lors de la réservation a été majoré sans raison ni explication.

Best Car Rental company always

Best Car Rental company always. Had another great experience in Spokane this past week. Easiest to deal with, easy to get car and go. No other car rental company can consistently compare.

Never Again

Today is my daughters wedding 17/9/23 I was to set of to Newcastle, the vehicle was to be delivered between 10am - 12 pm I’ve called office 3 times before 1.00 pmand nothing has been done on my last call they cut me off This service of yours is disgraceful upon booking you take the money but up on delivering the vehicle no one seems to know what’s happening. I am truly upset with this company and will never be using it again It’s now coming upto 2 months and still no luck with my refund despite several calls and emails It’s coming up to 2 months and my money still has not been returned. Despite several calls and emails I am not getting any kind of response on your end all I’m hearing is the the matter has escalated to another department. I’m sorry to say but frankly I’m sick of hearing same thing over and over again.

Noleggio National Alamo emterprise pessima esperienza

Ho nelggiato due auto in due settimane tramite agenzia alla National. In un caso non avevano ricbeuto la mia prenotazione (avevo l email dell agenzia con il numero di prenotazione!) E quindi ho dovuto aspettare del tempoin attesa che trovassero un auto. Nel secpndo caso ho aspettato per un ora albanco perche la unica persona della National era lentissimo. Ha servito 3 persone in 1 ora. E la fila dietro di me era di altre 5 persone. Pessima eaperienza. Diffidate del prezzo basso evidentemente speculano sul servizio

Pure rip off company

Pure rip off company. Hired a car in Port Hardy Canada and told that only CDW option for UK drivers had excess of C$500. At end of hire agent ‘found a chip on windscreen’, not noticed by us it was so small. In UK would have been done free but I was told that ‘the policy’ was to replace screen and I would have to pay for it. Asked for copy of this policy and complaints procedure - neither provided. Just received invoice for cost, it states that it took 3 1/2 hours to replace to screen and cost of course was said to be above C$500.

National Car Rental Malaga is a…

National Car Rental Malaga is a fraudulent company! Avoid at all costs. Like every other review on here they come up with damages that dont exist. Mine was tyre tread despite the car being used for less than 100 miles and the evidence photo showed 5+mm of tread! The police need to investigate this company. I rent a car around the world weekly and ive never experienced anything quite like this. AVOID!!

Great experience

They had a nice selection of cars that suited our needs at the best price. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable, especially helpful since we were traveling from the US. At the time of returning the car, Remi went above and beyond to help us get a taxi to our hotel, while being very courteous and patient as we scrabbled to find the hotel address. Thank you Remi!

Booking cancelled without warning!! Apalling!

Rented a car for the 4th August in Asturias airport only to find out when I went to collect it that the booking had been cancelled due to lack of availability of cars!!! Was not given any other options and had to rent a car for less days at a much higher price. Unforgivable...

Watch Out For Their Frauds

Picked up our rental at Southampton and two days later scratched the passenger side door avoiding a head-on with a truck traversing a narrow stone bridge in Wales. Door & mirror still worked fine and car was good so we reported the cosmetic damage and continued travelling for the next couple of weeks with no issues. When we returned the car damage was noted and our £200 damage deposit was refunded but they charged us £5,000.00 as a repair “estimate” saying we would be refunded the balance. Since then the only itemized bill was to replace the tire, about £180 including a bogus “admin fees” of £60. So they are holding £5,000 of our money but charge the tire repair to our CC on file. Presumably since the deductible was supposed to be £1,500 they send us a notice that they are refunding £3,500 but never process it. When we request the repair estimate they refuse and send us a page with four lines of numbers including the tire repair which was already billed and paid, another bogus “admin fees” and even the old con “loss of use” charge that was exposed and cost, I believe Hertz, millions decades ago. (They need to prove that every car in their fleet for the entire country was rented that day in order for them to claim they lost revenue while the car was being repaired.) Anyway, they credited our account for some, unsubstantiated number (around £1500) but refuse to supply any detailed documentation. We have insurance to cover any loss but how do you claim for amounts just pulled out of thin air? When we ask for documents they just send the same rental agreement, damage report, tire repair (done and paid for) and keep our remaining £3,500. Beware!
